ok this morning i started to drive after it had been left overnight
and wen i accelerated it just made loads of noise like airfilter sucking noise but was not going any where until the revs got to about 3k revs
this happened for a while then wen the engine got warm it was ok!

iv started to use that wynns engine additive which is upposed to protect engine its thick stuff lik glue could this be causing thickenes on pistons
wen cold but wen warm it spreads and thinens?

i think its just a case of your cars gotten cold overnight and wont run properly till its heated up, generally speaking if i need to use my car in the morning after a cold night i leave it running for a 5 minutes before i go anywhere so it can heat up.... i may be wrong though

flat spots maybe.... does it chug along a bit jumpy... ease ure foot of and back on the accelerator or gear down often works for me.... try letting it warm up tho, can't hurt can it :thumb:
